I wasn't expecting this book to be as good as it was. It is a honest look at a marriage gone bad and the healing afterward. The author does not place all the blame on her spouse and does not encourage the blame game. She focuses on the healing. Yes we hear her side of what went wrong but I thought she did a good job at being fair and what she told was with the goal of healing in mind. I found this to be a book that made me want to work on healing myself from past relationships, (far more brutal than the story she told though only because of the physical aspect. Words can and do hurt deeply.They do scar.). I have recommended this book to others who have went through bad relationships. I know not everyone is ready to be so open and forgiving to a former partner who hurt them, (in truth I am not certain I will be as generous as she was), but there is a truth that you forgive for you, not for them. Most people I have forgiven in my life may not even be aware that I have forgiven them, many may not even care. I do it to set myself free not to set them free. This book come with resources and healing exercises. The exercises aren't easy but I do think they are helpful.
